Class database
Sorcerer
Sorcerers wield complex spells and gestures to unleash forces far more devastating than conventional arms. Staffs are their preferred weapon. Beyond their formidable offensive power, different schools of spells boast a variety of magical abilities that can shield allies or enhance their combat effectiveness. However, Sorcerers are less adept at hand-to-hand combat and should steer clear of close engagements.

Official field tips
These are the class mechanics the game highlights before and during a hunt.
Sorcerer Technique
As a Sorcerer, you must choose between the Stardust Magic and Elemental Magic schools, depending on your preferred playstyle.
Sorcerer Technique
When casting combo skills using Switch Major Spell/Switch Minor Spell+Major Spell Action/Minor Spell Action as a Sorcerer, you can release Switch Major Spell/Switch Minor Spell once chanting begins and only need to hold Major Spell Action/Minor Spell Action to continue casting.
Weapon disciplines and skills
These are the weapon families assigned to this class and the complete set of current skills that require each family.
Staff

If released before chanting completes, it recovers Energy and launches a weaker flying star toward the target direction, exploding upon contact and dealing reduced Magic Damage.
Fire Bolt
Hold to chant, then launch a fire bolt toward the target direction. The fire bolt explodes upon contact with a target or the ground, dealing Magic Damage and short-term burn damage.
If released before chanting completes, it recovers Energy and launches a weaker fire bolt toward the target direction, dealing reduced Magic Damage.

Crystal Icebolt
